Preach Cheap!

Carrie should have stuck around. I agree with Tylerbo that Carrie should have been the new Marlena.

Hello, Carrie/Rafe = Marlena/Roman. What they tried and failed with Sami and Rafe. Sami worked with Lucas and I would have been fine with Sami and EJ if they never had that ... blight on their history. I could never get past it and what they did to each other. It all could have been so much more than it was, with real writers. You can't keep switching writers every few years.

DAYS writers ... see ... it's really not that hard ...

Cheap, that Kate-versus-Carrie idea is terrific.

It's amazing to me how much more I enjoy Melanie when we get to see her with people her age in a supporting role. It was like this was the episode where they remembered they haven't shown her with Abigail, Sonny, or Chad at all and decided to get it all done at once. I was sort of dying at that insane scene where they all had to explain how they're connected, which of course led to "Your father is my doctor?!"

I also love Marlena's indignation at being KIDNAPPED AND FLOWN TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, as opposed to being freaked out or even trying to help herself. Like, "Yeah, this happens often enough. Just go with it."

All that said, are there even any stories on this show right now? All this (non-)drama over Ben legally changing his name. Who cares?

So stating a hard fact is hating on someone or even having a difference of opinion is "hating" on someone..Rather childish me thinks..She is an old looking 50 year old..bottom line..in another storyline she would be fine but she is just not an attractive woman IMO and certainly a hunk like JJ on or off the screen having sex with her more than once is not realistic. IMO

How is that a "hard fact"? LMAO. It's called YOUR OPINION. It's not a fact. She's not ugly or unattractive. I don't think she is and many would disagree. Sigh.

Anyway ...

LOOOOVE Stefano and Marlena! THIS is what I want to see. And FLASHBACKS! Real, true flashbacks! Some of the better things I've seen lately just can't be Tomsell, even though I know the show shoots sixteen years in advance.

Okay..when they show a close-up really look will you please??? Marlena is much older and her skin is flawless..this Eve looks like she has been out on a drunk for weeks..Please really look...I like her acting but to put her with a teen? Otherwise I would not have said a thing...

Thanks for posting the gifs, Cheap!

As I live and breath, I never thought I'd ever see them re-air that clip. That actual moment, that wonderfully cheesy moment, when Marlena morphed into the demon and chucked Stefano around. Wow!

My one gripe is that I wish they'd re-air all the standard definition clips in their original 4x3 airing, rather than zooming in to fill the HD 16x9 space. Makes the flashbacks grainy, not as clear, and cuts off the top and bottom.

I also LOVED that they showed clips from The Queen of the Night, when he took her through her bedroom armoire. They even kept the original background music intact. Looking forward to seeing more of this (I'm optimistically hoping!) as we get closer to the 50th!

Thanks!

I have more questions for anyone that can answer. Exactly how did Marlena get possessed by the devil? Did the audience see it happen or did she just start acting weird and then we learned later? Why was she chosen and exactly how long was she under demonic control? Did anyone try to take precautions so that it doesnt happen again? I dont see her go to church or pray the rosary

    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. They just used her to drive plot. Her treatment is not atypical, as most characters on this show will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat.
